The term “Special Purpose Vehicle” might seem like jargon, however, in the world of investing, SPVs are a crucial tool for fund managers and investors to invest in various alternate assets including SAFTs, real estate, treasury bills, venture capital, luxury assets, and more. In this blog post, we'll break down what SPVs are, their benefits, how they can be utilized, and how Allo is empowering users through SPVs to invest, stake, and tokenize alternate assets on-chain.
What is a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)?
A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) is a streamlined legal entity, which can be used by fund managers to consolidate a pool of capital from multiple investors to invest in alternate assets. SPVs are fast, flexible, and shifting the landscape of investing by enabling more access and more usability for investing in alternate asset classes.
Technically speaking, a SPV is a subsidiary created by a parent company to serve a specific purpose and isolate financial risk. Although a SPV is a subsidiary of a larger parent company, it operates as a separate entity with its own assets, liabilities, and legal status.
Benefits of SPVs
SPVs provide a range of benefits for fund managers and investors. A few of the key benefits include:
Accessibility for more investors
Flexibility for investing in various alternate asset classes
Faster and more efficient financing
Regulatory and tax advantages
How Fund Managers and Investors Utilize SPVs
In Venture Capital (VC), SPVs have become an increasingly popular and useful tool for fund managers. They allow investors to invest in specific deals rather than committing a larger amount of capital to an entire fund. The same holds true when it comes to investing in alternative assets. Fund managers can utilize SPVs for pooling investors to invest in a specific alternative asset.
Here are just a few examples of investments made through utilizing SPVs:
SPV in private equity
SPV in crypto
SPV in real estate
SPV in aviation
SPV in art
SPV in maritime
SPV in trading cards
SPV in musical instruments
SPV in professional sports league
